Lawrence Phillips was a phenomenal football talent, but a massive asshole. He violently abused women, tried to murder people with his car and may have murdered his prison cell mate. He deserved what he got.

Harbaugh's offering Falcon a free Michigan education in return for, well, nothing. It's quite an honorable thing to do. Harbaugh's keeping his promise to the kid, even though he doesn't think Falcon is physically capable of fulfilling his part of the agreement.

If Falcon is more interested in an opportunity to play football, he's free to go elsewhere. No hard feelings.
